try this to have it auto start:

open a terminal window and type:

sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default

press enter

look for the line that says, “exit 0” and above this line add these extra lines:

if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then

/usr/bin/numlockx on

fi

save the file and close gedit. Next time you reboot, numlock then you should be on by default

this works for me using hardy
